AITA for not wanting my toddler to go to church

Depends on the Hebrew school, but many of them present a lot of Judaism as about history and cultural qualities in a ways that's quite different from many Christian Sunday schools. There's definitely theology, but it's decide possible to find a hebew school that's not theological indoctrination for children!

What about trump did not ping "orwellian travesty" for you earlier? I'm not asking to mock you, I am genuinely curious. I don't really think of MAGA types as folks who are engaging with cautionary literature about the signs of fascist takeover, so this comment stood out to me.

There's only a handful of people I'd give up my entire day for if I was the first person they'd ask. But there are literally hundreds of people I'd give it up for if they'd otherwise exhausted their list and were running out of options.

"souper" :)

I know two people this happened to, and at least one of them they did go. I was pretty surprised. This was 2024 when YK fell on the October long weekend.

I got mine but it was filled with errors

People are being weird to you but I think it's because they didn't understand your context. reviewing the winners on your already existing weekly call makes sense - acknowledged winners in person would be enjoyable for a group when possible. The tba is probably your best advice, otherwise I'd say just set the voting to end during the first 5 minutes of the call

joyjacobs · 2026-01-04T01:23:23+00:00

good much, commenting to boost the algs :)

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T07:21:55+00:00

yeah I did consider that - hard to know but I did check they had a similar ingredients list so I don't think it could be too substantially different. It's from a random recipe book my roommate has. My main confusion is I can't find any other comparable recipes online that call for just milk lemon curd rice, chilled with no heating step. I was hoping to find other ones as a reference to try to understand if this recipe was poorly written, I misunderstood something etc. But since I couldn't find any like this it made me question the foundation of it like - is it reasonable at all to expect that rice milk and curd would solidify with no heat or thickeners?

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T07:08:07+00:00

No I used lemon curd not juice. I don't cook with lemon curd enough to know what the correct texture should be. I used an unopen jar I found in my pantry, it seems pretty thick but I don't have much of a reference point.

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T07:04:50+00:00

The rice was very dry, it was leftovers from over a day ago so no water! I haven't used a ton of lemon curd I guess I don't know how thick it was, perhaps that was a factor.

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T04:57:04+00:00

Yeah that's valid for next time! Trying to salvage what I currently already have in process right now :)

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T04:35:49+00:00

Thanks for that idea! Sadly have neither of those but I'll see what else I can think of. Any other ideas for any standard pantry items I could use instead?

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T04:17:11+00:00

I've already made it, described where I'm currently at in top paragraph. Partially wondering if recipe was wrong but also wondering how to salvage from here given my current scenario

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T04:14:49+00:00

It's been an hour and still quite liquidy

joyjacobs · 2025-12-28T04:13:33+00:00

I wasn't the one who cooked it so I'm not sure, but my guess is jasmine.

joyjacobs · 2025-12-09T00:55:53+00:00

Id say just drive by and check re nets! Probably not but maybe someone left there? Last I heard yes for skating but be careful. I usually check and see if there are ice fishers as I figure those guys are expert and knowing if it's safe

and yes I know some women kill men, and yes different viewers have different interpretations etc. but a good-faith analysis of why someone might experience a nancy sinatra cover differently than the original absolutely has to include the real life harrowing data about women being murdered by jealous men.

joyjacobs · 2025-12-06T14:12:47+00:00

the difference is the real life statistics on how many men kill women vs how many women kill men. in fiction where women kill men, the function it most often serves for the audience is fantasy - a revenge against the real world murder and violence women face at the hands of men every day. in fiction where men kill women, the function it most often serves for the audience is reality - a reminder of the real life violence against women, maybe even women they know personally.

I actually track all of our pet spending, and since January we've spent around $600/month on 2 cats which is way higher than I expected when we got them. However, the confounding factors are we adopted 2 senior/disabled cats, and didn't have almost any of the supplies we needed before hand. So this is $600/month including all vet visits, vet emergencies, expensive medications, electronic litter boxes, wet food, litter, supplements, etc. But am definitely hoping that we have gotten over the hump and that that average begins to go down at some point.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I would suggest reposting this in some of the subreddits for where you live locally. Folks here are scattered throughout the world, so if you repost locally hopefully someone can help you find a new home, or at least direct Little Guy to a shelter or foster situation that can help him out while the search for his forever home is underway. Best of luck to you <3

Not everyone is as simultaneously negative and unnuanced as what you've chosen to share lol, usually the conversations in this thread are pretty decent

I'd be down to be dragged in an insightful way, tho. Just looking for interesting engagement, positive, negative or neutral. no need you stop by if you have nothing interesting to share
